Soprano

Kelly Cae Hogan shines as Elisabeth (Tannhäuser), with beautiful, full timbre and crystal-clear top notes.

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk

“The American soprano has dramatic point and a blooming tone, with a vocal thrust that easily surpasses even the orchestra’s fortissimo.”
Frankfurter Rundschau

“The American Kelly Cae Hogan, making her first appearance in Kassel, is a stroke of luck as Katerina: she plays the figure with such complexity: arrogantly, passionately, cold-bloodedly, hot loving and deeply despairing. Hogan’s vocal reserves are admirable, her powerful lyricism seizes you.”
Hessische Niedersächsische Allgemeine

“By the last scene the audience feels compassion for Katja, due greatly to Kelly Cae Hogan who in this provocative part, remains vocally not guilty — her dramatic soprano over-radiates throughout the enormous orchestra eruptions, finding again and again touching lyric poetry.”
